Apte recounted these times in an interview with Scoop Whoop in 2018, as a learning yet demoralizing experience, wherein she managed with a salary of ₹8,000 to ₹10,000 from theater roles and having to put up with odd house owners and roommates in Goregaon, where she lived as a paying guest. However, a few months later, Apte got discouraged by her experience in Mumbai and returned to her family in Pune. It was during this time that Apte became involved in theater in Pune, and decided to go to Mumbai to join films. While growing up in Pune, Apte trained under Kathak exponent, Rohini Bhate, for eight years. Apte found this experience liberating, as it boosted her self confidence. In Pune, she initially studied in a regular school, and then was home schooled along with four friends by their parents living in the same building, who did not want their children to go through the regular schooling system. She is an Economics and Mathematics graduate from Fergusson College, Pune. Charudutt Apte subsequently became a neurosurgeon and chairman of Sahyadri Hospital, Pune. Her parents were studying and working as doctors at the Christian Medical College & Hospital, Vellore when she was born.

She has since starred in the Netflix films Raat Akeli Hai (2020) and Monica, O My Darling (2022), and portrayed Noor Inayat Khan in the American film A Call to Spy (2019).

She was nominated for an International Emmy Award for her work in the first of these.
